Maui Vacation Rentals - Beach Resorts of Hawaii

Maui, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Molokai are islands which comprise Maui County, also called Maui Nui. Maui itself is the second largest island in the state of Hawaii and the seventeenth largest in the U.S. It’s also referred to as the "Valley Isle" because of its large isthmus between two volcanoes.

Accommodations are very good in Hawaii, so lodging in one of the many vacation rental homes or condos is the best way to enjoy the beach resorts of Maui, Hawaii, and soak up its vivacious nature.
It is an endless summer vacation in Maui, Hawaii islands. Temperatures seldom dip below 73-74 degrees and frequently rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Volcanoes on the horizon, lush tropical forests, sugar cane fields, sugar-white and black sand beaches, clear blue water, and cascading waterfalls - the island of Maui epitomizes paradise. The island has a number of excellent beach resorts and offers plenty of accommodations in comfortable vacation rentals like homes, apartments, condos, villas, cabins and cottages.

Accommodations in Homes & Condos of Maui

The island beach resorts of Maui, Hawaii have more places to see and things to do than any other vacation destination in the world! 727.2 square miles makes for an enormous, beautiful attraction. After you have found accommodations in beautiful vacation rental homes or condos, you can focus on what Maui has to offer.

To capture the splendor of it all, locals will advise you to rent an open air jeep and ride through narrow bridges and hair-pin turns on the road to Hana. Along the way, you'll find plenty of lush greenery and cascading waterfalls. Take plenty of pictures of the matchless views of volcanoes and clear blue Pacific!

Around the town of Hana, there are state parks where you’ll hike, swim, or sunbathe. Walk along the black sands at Waianapanapa State Park or on the famed red cinder sands at Red Sand Beach. "House of the Sun" (in Hawaiian, Haleakala) is a state park which has the largest dormant volcano in the world, Haleakala Crater. Legend has it that the demigod Maui lassoed the sun, so it would move slowly above the volcano’s summit. Haleakala State Park has a wide variety of natural environments. Look down at the clouds from the volcano's summit, hike through deserts, or wonder at flora in the dense tropical forests near sea level.

Iao Valley State Park is perfect for the day hiker. A famous landmark here is the 1200-foot Iao Needle, best appreciated before drifting clouds obscure its tip. To learn about the wall of tropical forests around you, stop at the Hawaiian Nature Center. Another point of interest is the Lahaina Jodo Mission, where there are a Japanese pagoda and twelve-foot tall, three and a half ton bronze Buddha, one of the largest monuments to the deity outside Japan.

Another larger-than-life attraction in Maui is the Banyan Tree in Lahaina. It is one of the biggest in the world, spreading over an area the size of one city block. Walk for two-thirds of an acre and you’d still be under its shadow! For an excursion back in time, Lahaina Kaanapili Railroad takes visitors for a ride on an old steam train. The trip ends with a BBQ dinner and a show.

Other than tourism, sugar is one of the most important industries in Maui. Go to the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum to learn exactly why this is so.
